New stuff

Saturday, Leslie and I took a workshop.  We cut up our beautiful fabric into little pieces and put it back together into beautiful pictures.

I wasn't crazy about mine until I added the petals.  And then....OH MY GOSH!  I loved it!

Here I am pinning it after the Sulky Solvy is put on top of all the little pieces.  Then, I started "quilting" it--just scribbling all over.  I got it about 1/6 of the way scribbled.

Here's Leslie's.  Don't you just love the red bird!

This one was done by Linda.  She copied a painting that was done for her by our ladies in our sister quilt  guild in Costa Rica.  She just got back from a mission trip there.

I thought this one was stunning!

I finished another of my hand applique blocks last night.
(Sorry, this picture got out of order and I can't fix it)








This is one that's finished.  After the quilting is done and the Sulky is disolved, the picture is stretched onto a canvas and framed.
  Karen made this one at another workshop, but started another one just like it at this one.

I've been having some painting done in my house--bathroom/master bedroom, utility room and kitchen.
I love the way my little Amish quilt looks in the bathroom.

I really like the color that you've painted the bathroom and the little Amish quilt too!

Looks like you have been busy, busy!
